EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Two women with shotguns" transports us back to rural Italy in the year 1908. The image captures two strong-willed women standing proudly against a picturesque backdrop of the Italian countryside. Dressed in traditional clothing that reflects the fashion of their time, these European ladies exude an air of confidence and independence. Their attire showcases intricate details and patterns, giving us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Sardinia. In their hands, they hold powerful shotguns - symbols of their skill and prowess as hunters. These instruments serve as a testament to their ability to navigate the rugged terrain and provide for themselves and their families. Accompanying them is a loyal hunting dog, ready to assist in tracking down game amidst the vast landscape. This faithful companion adds another layer of authenticity to this scene from everyday life in early 20th century Italy. The architectural structure behind them hints at civic spaces within this rural community, reminding us that even in remote areas like Sardinia, people sought ways to come together and create shared spaces for social interaction. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait captured by Howells Vincenzo, we are reminded not only of the diversity found within Europe but also how photography can preserve moments frozen in time. It allows us to delve into anthropology, ethnography, folklore – disciplines that help unravel our collective human history. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact; it invites contemplation on themes such as femininity, tradition, nature's bounty, and our connection with animals. A true treasure from Alinari's collection!
